  • CNV detection with single-read data (bacterial genome)

    I am planning to do a CNV calling for the first time and I've got Illumina single-read data (50bp). Libraries were not sequenced in paired-end because it is a bacterial genome so the coverage is very high even with single-read data (~400X).

    I've read a lot of things about CNV calling and discovered that most of tools are designed for paired-end data.
    I've read that there are different kind of methods depending on what the tool focus on : SR (Split Read : split misaligned paired reads), RP (Read Paired : uses insert sizes distribution), RD (Read Depth) and CA (Combinatory approach : takes advantages of all methods). The latest is the more confident and complete method, so that I would like to use a tool which use the CA method. But it seems that paired-end reads are always required and maybe I have no other choice than using a RD tool.

    My question is: did someone already call CNV with single-read data, or does someone know which tool might be the best suited for?

    There are a few algorithms available, I'd try Socrates (split-read) which works either on PE or SE data.

      Hi BnaT, thank you a lot for your answer ! Sorry I did not see it earlier !
      I'm glad to hear about a tool I did not know, I will have a look. So far I tried Control-FREEC and CNV-seq, both using the read depth to compute CNV.

        A personal reflexion which may interest someone else : I have 50nt single-end reads, maybe a method based on splitting read is not the more reliable for such small reads (because an alignment of a few bases may be not specific enough)

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
